I grew up in South Haven, Michigan. Gotta love the lakeshore! Still feel a yearning for the beach, pretty much daily. Moved to Grand Rapids to go to Calvin College. Fell in love with GR and have been here since! (Go Beer City, USA!) Big fan of crime TV, the '90s (scrunchies! Saved By the Bell!), my own rude and feisty cat, the beach (you may have thought I covered that already, but I really really love it, OK?), reading, people watching, drinking on patios, playing the most inappropriate cards in Cards Against Humanity, and my dear, dear family.

What if "Back to the Future III" had been made in the 1920's instead of the 80's? Well, Marty McFly would probably be time-traveling in a Model-T instead of a Dolorian... but, aside from that it might look a lot like the following clip. Complete with title cards and old timey piano music, here's the classic 80's flick as a short silent film.

I feel like bacon is really making a comeback. Not that it ever left us-- but it seems to be more popular than ever. There's bacon ice cream, bacon vodka, even cat litter that emits a bacon smell when your kitty uses the potty. And now-- the bacon coffin.

I will admit that math is not my suit. Somehow I made it through high school trig, but these days, ask me anything about a "tangent" or a "co-sign" and I will certainly stare blankly back at you. But even I knew the answer to this brainbuster: "How long does it take to drive 80 miles at 80 mph?" People who didn't? Chelsea. And her husband caught it on video.

Really doesn't have the same ring to it, does it? Lisa Curtin, an elementary school principal in Massachusetts renamed St. Patrick's Day to "O'Green Day" to make it "inclusive and diverse" for all the students at Soule Road School. How politically correct of her! Parents of students at the school, however, think she might be taking things a little too far.

Happy "Divorce Month"! Let's... celebrate? According to the legal website FindLaw, for the past few years, searches for "divorce" and related terms like "family law" and "child custody" spiked in January and continued to rise through March, with actual divorce filings peaking during this month. Why all the breaking up this time of year?

The phrases "dress the part" and "dress for success" must have been mantras for Brazilian man, André Luiz Pinheiro. The 50 year old retired soldier who dresses up as Batman for kids' parties and other events now has a job as... Batman. The Brazilian city of Taubaté has hired Pinheiro to wear his Bat-costume to help patrol their dangerous neighborhoods.

Sure, sometimes you get fed up with working: your boss is an idiot, your co-workers are lazy, there's never anything good in the vending machine, you're sick of pointless meetings, etc. But did you know that your job could literally be killing you? A new frightening infographic from OnlineUniversity.net details how desk jobs that require little or no physical activity are leading to increases in obesity, stress and heart disease.

Finally, a candidate who really stands out! Well, mostly because he's a cat. Hank, a 9-year-old street cat from Springfield Virginia, is running for U.S. Senate. Hank announced his candidacy earlier this month, taking on former Virginia governors, George Allen and Tim Kaine

A mid-Michigan man is now finding himself several thousand dollars richer after cleaning out an old farmhouse. It's there he found a rare, vintage football card dating back to 1894. Can you believe he almost threw it out?! Check out the video after the jump.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Pizza Hut's BOOK IT! program. Not only did I get to read to my heart's content, I also got rewarded for it?! What?! Yep, I was a bit of a nerd. I earned so many personal pans, I think my parents had to tell me to stop reading, as I was bordering on fat little kid territory. Well, turns out Tim Tebow is also a supporter of BOOK IT! He appears in a video for the program reading Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham. Check out it out after the jump.

Just one night before she passed away, Whitney Houston took to the stage to sing "Yes, Jesus Loves Me" at the Kelly Price & Friends Unplugged: For The Love Of R&B bash at Tru Hollywood. Cell phones captured the video, which is now making it's way around the internet.

Candy Land was one of the first board games I ever remember playing. King Kandy, the Imperial Head Bonbon and Grand Jujube of Candy Land was lost! I'd cross the Ice Cream Sea, hike Gum Drop Mountain and avoid the likes of the evil Lord Licorice to find him! And now, one of my favorite childhood games is coming to the big screen.
